Conflux Technology Opens to the Hypercar Industry with the Pagani Utopia for Extreme Road Performance

Melbourne, Australia, 03 June 2025  — Conflux Technology, a world-leading heat transfer and additive manufacturing (AM) company, today announced its newest collaboration with hypercar manufacturer Pagani to increase transmission heat rejection.

Pagani’s latest hypercar, the Pagani Utopia, is a showcase of engineering excellence and driver-centric design. Powered by the Pagani V12, a bespoke 6-liter twin-turbo engine by Mercedes-AMG, it pairs with a custom Xtrac seven-speed transmission, that is available in either automated or manual form. This powertrain combination provides unparalleled control and responsiveness while meeting the stringent emissions standards globally, including California.

The extreme power and flexibility of the Utopia demanded advanced thermal management solutions, particularly for its transmission oil domain. To meet this challenge, Pagani developed a custom heat exchanger with Conflux that leveraged cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology. Conflux achieved a remarkable 30% increase in heat rejection compared to the previous solution, ensuring optimal thermal performance even under the most demanding conditions.

“It’s an incredible privilege to contribute to the creation of groundbreaking vehicles for industry leaders like Pagani,” said Michael Fuller, Founder and CEO of Conflux Technology. “Our advanced heat exchangers are designed to enable new levels of effectiveness, perfectly complementing the engineering craftsmanship that Pagani is celebrated for. This collaboration showcases the synergy of precision, innovation, and excellence.”

The Utopia’s transmission underwent rigorous testing, from track and road validation to thermal shock trials, proving its resilience and capability to support the hypercar’s unparalleled performance. This collaboration ensures both engineering ingenuity and the emotional connection to driving remain uncompromised. “The innovation of Conflux’s technology has allowed Xtrac to continue to push the boundaries of transmission performance, whilst maintaining the lightweight, motorsport derived ethos of our transmission solutions” shared Oliver Nixon, Head of High Performance Automotive at Xtrac.

“Conflux’s advanced heat transfer technology empowers the Pagani Utopia to achieve superior heat rejection ensuring optimal thermal balance, even in severe driving conditions” shared Francesco Perini, Head of the Technical Department at Pagani. “In our relentless pursuit of perfection, every detail matters. Conflux’s cartridge heat exchangers are a testament to precision and innovation, playing a vital role in ensuring that the Utopia can be enjoyed for a romantic drive on the French Riviera as well as on the most demanding tracks.”

This collaboration with Pagani strengthens Conflux’s position in the hypercar industry, showcasing its ability to deliver cutting-edge thermal solutions while advancing sustainability goals. Backed by a recent AUD 11M Series B funding round, Conflux is accelerating the development of its Conflux Production Systems (CPS) to meet growing global demand in high-performance thermal applications across industries including aerospace, motorsports, high-powered industrial machines, and defense.
